Brigade Blocks Addons Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Brigade Blocks Addons extends the WordPress Block Editor with professionally designed blocks, without a page builder. Everything is organised into modules you can switch on or off; a disabled module registers no blocks, scripts or styles.
Every block can be styled in depth from the editor’s Styles tab — typography, colors, gradients, background images with overlays, borders, per-corner radius, layered box shadows, spacing, sizes, flex and grid layout, position, opacity and visibility — separately for hover, focus and active states and for desktop, tablet and mobile. Only the controls that make sense for each block are shown.
Blocks use the Donix design system — coral accent, ink headings, Urbanist type and a single 6px radius — and every value is a CSS custom property your theme can override.

Brigade Blocks Addons Pro
A separate, optional add-on adds a Dynamic Data module: Loop Builder, Dynamic Tags and Conditional Content. This plugin is complete on its own and contains no Pro code; its settings screen lists Pro modules and blocks with a PRO badge so you can see what the add-on includes.
Performance and privacy
- Styles load only on pages that use a block.
- Front-end scripts are tiny, dependency-free and load only with their block: click-to-load for Video and Google Maps, Tabs, Content Toggle, Counter, Progress Bar, carousels, AJAX load more / filter, live search, the login form, the mini cart drawer and chart animations. Accordion, Flip Box, post grids, lists and masonry, and every chart itself need no JavaScript.
- The Urbanist font is served from your own site. Choose “Inherit from theme” to load no fonts at all.
- YouTube uses youtube-nocookie.com and Vimeo uses do-not-track; neither loads until the visitor presses play.
External services
Some blocks can show content from third-party services. Nothing is sent to these services unless you add the block to a page, and the Video and Google Maps blocks can wait until the visitor clicks before loading anything.
Google Maps (Google Maps block)
The Google Maps block embeds a map from Google Maps (maps.google.com) for the address or place you enter, and can link to Google Maps directions. When the map loads, the visitor’s browser requests it from Google, which receives the visitor’s IP address, browser details and the address or place shown. With “Click to load” enabled, nothing is requested until the visitor clicks the map.

YouTube (Video and Video Gallery blocks)
When a Video or Video Gallery block uses a YouTube link without a custom poster, the thumbnail is loaded from i.ytimg.com and, after the visitor presses play, the video is embedded from youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube receives the visitor’s IP address, browser details and the video ID.

Vimeo (Video and Video Gallery blocks)
When a Video or Video Gallery block uses a Vimeo link, the video is embedded from player.vimeo.com (with Do Not Track) after the visitor presses play. Vimeo receives the visitor’s IP address, browser details and the video ID.

Google Sheets or another CSV link (Chart block)
Only when you set a Chart block’s data to “From a link”, your website’s server downloads that link — for example a Google Sheet (docs.google.com) or any CSV file address you enter — to draw the chart, and keeps a cached copy (5 minutes to one day, as you choose). The request is made by your server, not by visitors’ browsers; it contains no visitor data, only the address you entered. Private or local network addresses are never contacted.
